Now that we have gone over some 
basic correspondences, here is 
a bit of information on the care, 
preparing, lighting, and 
extinguishing of candles.

 

When preparing candles for use in a 
spell, you should look into what 
type of oil would do best with 
that particular spell. As you 
will use the oil in preparation 
of the candle. By doing this 
you put more energy into the 
candle, focusing it a bit deeper 
on the task at hand. (For 
instance: if I were to do a 
love spell I would chose a 
pink candle and the oil I 
would use for it would probably 
be Jasmine, although there are 
many choices out there that 
will do for this.) You will 
then dress the candles with 
the oil of choice.

While lighting candles it 
is good to remember that 
most people agree it is 
not a wise thing to use 
matches while lighting 
candles used in spell 
working. This is because 
the sulfur in matches is 
not going to work well 
with the spell being cast.

While extinguishing candles, 
make sure that you have a 
candlesnuffer handy. As it 
is said that your spells 
will dissipate when blown 
out. You blow the wanted 
affect away from you. 

Always keep the candle 
drippings from your spell 
working. Be sure to note 
that whatever must be done 
with the remaining candle 
(if any) the drippings should 
also be dealt with in this 
manner. (E.g.: you are 
performing a spell in which 
you are repelling something 
from you, and thus calls for 
the candles used to be buried 
in the ground… you would in 
turn bury and wax drippings 
from these candles along with it.)
